Bishop with Spaniard's encouragement runs over highwayman (9)
I believe the answer is:
bandolero
'highwayman' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'bishop with spaniard's encouragement runs over' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'bishop' could be 'b' (abbreviation for bishop in chess) and 'b' is found in the answer.
'with' could be 'and' and 'and' is present in the answer.
'runs' could be 'r' (cricket abbreviation) and 'r' is found in the answer.
'over' could be 'o' (cricket abbreviation) and 'o' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'leo' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bandolero that I've seen before include "Hispanic outlaw -- or old bean (anag)" , "Thief" .)
